Biggles: Adventures in Time (1986). I, Bigglesworth. 

Biggles and Condorman are two of my regular pleasure views. You are not alone 👐😂😂

Me too! Such happy memories of watching both!

Same here. Loved this film.

I went through a period in the early 80s where i watched Condorman at least once a week. I knew it was kind of bad, but I really loved it.

Bank Holiday was Boggles day in the early 90s in my house, and whatever Bond film ITV was showing.

Let's pretend that 'Rogue One' was actually him. The only 3/4s decent Disney Star Wars film.

It’s a lovely send off.

@@Lensman864biggles was more his thing

I had a Beta. It died in 1982.

Agreed. Peter deserved a knighthood.

I think that Kier Starmer has devalued that currency ... 🤔

@@Lensman864 the Brits have had a hilarious shitshow of leadership for the last forever, also greetings from USA lmaooooo

I think you might've crossed Biggles with Dan Dare a bit, as both had the same "boy's own adventure" vibe about them.

​@@BlueSkyBSI was just thinking that Dan Dare never got his time to shine on the big screen. 😢 Maybe one day.

The books were great. This film really sucked though.

I only found out about the books when they were brought up in The Thin Blue Line, in regards to certain 'homoerotic' undertones. >_>

@@minicle426 | Well, we all have different preferences. When this movie was released, I was 16 years old and by then had read pretty much all of W.E. John's novels and short stories. Both Biggles then as well as King and Worrals. Given the film's title, my expectations were high, but I was quickly incredibly disappointed. Apart from the names of a few characters, the film had nothing to do with Biggles at all. The plot itself, with time twins etc. was completely bizarre and incoherent. The fact that one of the main roles would be an American was probably also due to be able to sell this misery in the USA. Regarding any alleged “'homoerotic' undertones” I would say that that’s reflects more to certain readers individual mindset, i.e. a reader understands this as he or she wants to perceive it. The concept was more, if anything, to be regarded as asexual since the concept in this kind of narratives wasn’t about romance but adventure... and right-out related to war in some of the stories. In retrospect almost 40 years later, one can of course always consider the film as a somewhat original, if childishly ridiculous, action film and as such it can be ok. However, connecting it to Biggles storyboard that W.E. John's built up is pure nonsense. Especially as the setting in the movie had nothing in common with anything in the books and pretty much all the characters were taken out of context. It was also sad that Peter Cushing had to end his career with this abomination.

​@COPPAS70 "The point of Biggles and of Sherlock Holmes, is to solve crimes and kill Germans! And by heavens that should be enough for any man!"

@@minicle426 | As mentioned before, preferences differ, though I can’t say that your summary match up with much of the content found in the books. Furthermore, for my part, the point of stories about characters such as Biggles and Sherlock Holmes (whatever he has to do with the topic at hand) is rather to offer the enjoyment of experiencing a story that includes some thrills and most often also the solution of certain wartime quests or criminal mysteries. In Biggles, of course, opponents (often Germans in the stories set during WW1 and WW2) were killed. Then usually by getting shot down or that the culprits were killed by the good guys in self-defense. This as most of the Biggles stories concerned airplanes and/or espionage. In Sherlock Holmes stories, Holmes only used lethal force in exceptional cases (e.g. such as shooting the large dog in The Hound of the Baskervilles). Holmes preferred weapon was primarily his intellect. I can't recall ever reading that Holmes did kill Germans en masse in any of Conan Doyle's stories, but then those stories were set well before WW1, so the Germans wasn't really that a big of an issue yet…

Very wise until now ... 😂

I actually clicked on this thinking it was a Buggles song I hadn't heard 😂

Funny the soundtrack and that line are literally the only things I remember about this film.

Really? A space shuttle? A Boeing 737 MAX? One of many silly lines in a dreadful script.

If he doesn't mention the soundtrack I'm down voting

WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!! RIGHT. THAT'S IT

​@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx you're complaining about a silly line in a film where a yank from the 1980's travels back in time to save Biggles 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Along with Grand Moff Tarkin.

I remember both the film and the game being promoted in Eagle comic. I expect that made me the target audience at the time, but only saw the film when it came to TV, and never played the game. Sorry Biggles. 😄

P.S - There is a popcorn box joke at the end of the video, that expresses how I felt watching Condorman as a kid. Great Review Stam

Didn't he retire from acting to open a Swedish book shop in East Berlin? 🤔

@@Lensman864 Ah, Top Secret. Couldn't possibly tell you

yep, i came to say Neil Dickson for some reason reprised the role in 'It Couldn't Happen Here'
